The campaign which comes of with demo version of vanilla SC should be made available for everyone. Missions are pure quality and it introduces new players to basics even better and to what happened before Episode I.

So devs either need to:

  1. Implement it as Pre Episode on vanilla campaign screen.
    -or-
  2. (Easy way) Add them to mappack so everyone can access them without downloading.

Yes, I don’t get why after I get rid from default maps (I don’t play ever on them, just store them on my external HDD for nostalgia) they comeback again every patch. Those maps are useless for current era and if user deletes them Blizz launcher shouldn’t force downloading them again.

What is a good idea for you, Matt? Adding Loomings (which is already in the game, btw) OR adding a custom campaign function?

In any case: There is a bug in the game since the last patch REGARDING custom campaigns!

Since you are able to automatically add folders and maps to the Starcraft/maps directory(as you have with new ladder maps), please add all the Blizzard Map of the Week and Trigger Map of the Month entries to Starcraft/maps and add Precursor and Enslavers Dark Vengeance to Starcraft/maps/campaign. A lot of people don’t know all of these exist and the Starcraft Remastered website doesn’t have any links to the old BattleNet site. They’re all still up though:

Good idea!
The Demo missions really boosted the games atmosphere.

If it helps adding it I have the old executable, though you have to run it in compatibility mode, but it comes with the green text intro and outro. I also added the isolated map files which would be much easier since they’re just the maps (though those are basically the exact download HyperTurtle linked):

Other cool maps to add would be the Enslavers II campaigns, and the little mini campaign they made building for Resurrection IV in SC64 (Mercenaries, Deception, Mercenaries II). There’s also the fan remake of Resurrection IV for PC that’d be fun to add for how important in SCII it ended up being.

Any update to this in 2021? Such a missed opportunity.

Old thread, this will almost certainly go nowhere, but I’ll bump it anyway. Would be great to have this more accessible in Remastered…

Where is it! I know Blizzard has left RTS in the dark, but … where?

Here’s a reddit post where someone put several of the Blizzard mini campaigns all together.
